[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7908953, member: 85693"]Nice new ones, [USER=84905]@Tejas[/USER] The portraits are exceptional on both and I love that Apollo reverse with the bow and arrow. I would agree there are bargains on eBay, especially at the lower end of things. As [USER=75143]@hotwheelsearl[/USER] notes, it is difficult to sell for a good price sometimes - I've had the same experiences! Here's a new Valerian I just got on eBay - at $6.49, I think it was a fairly good deal. Although standing VIRTVS is not the most remarkable type, the issue appears to be fairly scarce: [ATTACH=full]1365175[/ATTACH] [B]Valerian I Antoninianus (256 A.D.) Viminacium Mint[/B] IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS PF AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS AVGG, soldier standing left, right hand resting on shield, left hand holding spear. RIC 227; Göbl 1584b. (2.93 grams / 20 mm) eBay Sept. 2021 $6.49 [B]Attribution Notes:[/B] OCRE and Wildwinds notes this as draped only, but this example is cuirassed as well; Wildwinds photo clearly shows cuirass.[/QUOTE]
